Purpose: This study aimed to identify the perception of quality-certified children"s preferred foods as well as consumption behaviors of nursery directors and parents.
Methods: A total of 243 nursery directors and parents of preschool children were surveyed using questionnaires.
Results: Parents" perception scores were lower than directors" scores for many of the questions. Parents showed significantly higher scores for food safety standard questions and nutritional fortifying questions than directors (p<0.001 each). On the other hand, directors showed significantly higher scores for questions about products nutrition and safety (p<0.001, p<0.01). When buying children"s favorite food items, food additives and hygiene level of vendors were the most important, in that order. Parents" scores for questions on purchasing behaviors of quality-certified children"s preferred foods were significantly higher than those of directors". Further, respondents with nutritional education experience showed high behavior scores.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that promotion of quality-certified children"s preferred foods is insufficient. The nutrition education group showed high scores for perception and positive consumption behaviors of quality-certified children"s preferred foods. It is important to cooperate with nursery directors and parents of preschoolers to further children"s nutritional education.
